Top Ten Best Cydia Sources of 2013

iF0rce.com

Unlike most of the Cydia sources in this list which have tons of contents, iF0rce only has a few iOS tweaks to offer. However, these tweaks are no pushover because they can be very useful. Just take for example the AirBlue Sharing, it is a Bluetooth file sharing application that enables users to easily transfer their files between phones or other devices. You can transfer files between Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, MTK, Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS devices. Another noteworthy application is iBluever which enables Bluetooth Dial-up networking support (client mode) for your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

ModMyi

When it comes to the top Cydia Sources, there is no doubt that BigBoss is the biggest name around. Next to BigBoss, the second most prominent source is definitely ModMyi. True to its namesake, this repo is the choice of users who wish to fully modify their iOS device. You should be able to see a plethora of packages that includes themes, tweaks, soundboards, ringtones, wallpapers, and many others. It also has a very active community forum with a population of over 700,000 strong. This source is definitely a must-have for those who love to customize their device.

iHackStore

If you are on the hunt for huge assortments of apps, tweaks, themes, ringtones, mods, cheats, hacks, and many others, then the iHackStore repo should be one of your better choices. This repo hosts a good deal of content which are generally the typical offering of apps and tweaks. A good number of these tweaks and apps are cracked which means you can download them for free. So overall, this is a good repository to consider if you wish to test out a jailbreak tweak or app before you proceed to buy the real thing.

BiteYourApple

The BiteYourApple Source is most likely the best Italian Cydia source out there. For non-Italian readers, don't let that scare you because you will really be missing out for some great contents. This is one of those all-in-one sources that hosts some of the highly popular and useful Cydia apps and tweaks. Expect to see some really popular tweaks and apps such as iFile, IAP Cracker, Springtomize 2, Infinidock, Celeste, and many others. It is also being constantly updated for new content. This is definitely a great source to have in your iOS device.

HackYouriPhone

So why should you add the HackYouriPhone repo to your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch? Well, like majority of the sources found on this list, this repo pretty much have everything you would want from a repository. You name it, apps, tweaks, ringtones, themes, mods, IPA files, DLCs (downloadable content), you can find them all in this particular source. It is almost always updated as well, so you can keep yourself updated with new jailbreak tweaks and apps that are being released.

iHacksRepo

Now here is another repo that we think no jailbreak user should miss out on. Again, this is one of those repository that you just add and forget because it offers a wide variety of content. What we have here is the usual array of tweaks, apps, HD Winterboard and Dreamboard themes, ringtones, utilities, SB Settings themes, it even has unlockable DLCs and cheat hacks for App Store applications. This is yet another repo which is being regularly updated, so you do not have to worry about outdated content over time. You'll be glad to have the iHacksRepo source.

SiNful iPhone Repo

This is another repo which enjoys a good amount of popularity from the jailbreak community and it has been around for quite some time as well. If you are searching for all sorts of cracked apps and tweaks, then you should do yourself a favor and add this repo without delay. It has tweaks, apps, themes, mods, ringtones, emulators, ROM packs, and other variety of goodies. Apart from that, SiNful iPhone Repo has an official forum with a community of more than 300,000 members.

xSellize

Hardcore and casual gamers are definitely going to like xSellize. By adding this repo, you will find the usual assortments of goodies such as jailbreak tweaks and apps. However, what sets this repo apart is that it also hosts a huge assortment of emulators and ROM packs for game systems such as Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, NES, and many others. So retro gamers will surely be reminiscing some good times by adding this repo. This is a solid repo although the only downside is that it is not updated that often.

Hackulous

Hands down, Hackulo.us repo is one of the most popular repositories in the jailbreak scene. This can be attributed to the fact that it hosts Installous, it is an app that enables jailbreak users to download for free unauthorized apps and cracked ones which are available in the iTunes App Store. This is a great option for those who simply can't afford to shell out money for apps, for those who can't buy from the App Store for some reason, and for users who wish to try out an app before buying them.

http://cydia.hackulo.us

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Sad to say that Hackulous source is now officially DEAD, so you won't be able to download apps like AppSync and Installous from the repository anymore. As an alternative to Installous, you may try other apps that works like Installous (More Details Here).

Insanelyi

If you are someone who has a good grasp on the jailbreaking scene, it should come as a no surprise if you are pretty familiar with the Insanelyi repo. This is in fact one of the household names when it comes to Cydia sources. As far as content go, Insanelyi features pretty much the same sort of packages with the above repositories. However, with over 6,500 packages and counting daily, this is shaping up to be one of the best Cydia sources these days. There are tons of tweaks which are made by various developers for free. It even hosts a few packages for the AppleTV. There are also over 60+ scripts which are most written by Insanelyi members. One of the fastest-growing sources out there, and definitely deserves the spot here in the top Cydia sources of 2013.

And there you have it, our Top Ten Best Cydia Sources 2013 listed out for your reference. I'm sure I've left out a lot of great sources considering I can cover only ten of them. If you have a particular repo in mind which you think deserves a spot up there, feel free to let us know and we'll see if we can add it in future updates for this post.

You should take a look at CSources2 app/tweak, its a repository manager for Cydia. Never loose you sources again.http://moreinfo.thebigboss.org/moreinfo/depiction.php?file=csources2DpIt comes in handy when you restore your device. You will never need to remember which sources to add.It also speeds up loading or specific loading in Cydia. You could have a hundred sources, and use which ever ones you want.

I’ve been playing since server one and have bought gems, and had my money eaten countless times, over $100 gone with no gems, and they NEVER reply to the emails. Anything from recourse hacks to full on gem hacks would be beautiful! Thank you! And if your ever in server 117 give me your name, I own a top 20 alliance ;) well top 10 but I can’t say more given that I don’t wanna be banned ;P

IapCracker is used with SbSettings without SbSettings it will fail to open and work. SbSettings is like an activator for it. iOS 7.0.4 is NOT supported yet and therefore needs to be updated before you can use any of the “Iap” packages. And I’m just in the basics as of right now, but I’m learning fast :) so I’ll update y’all as needed on what I learn about sinful and other iOS 7.x non-compatible packages :) if you need anything contact me at jimbeidler94@icloud.com with any apple jailbreaking questions. I’ll research and get back to you as soon as I can :)

Hi, BiteYourApple might not be working at the moment, so you can try again later. Hackulous is pretty much deader than dead these days which is indicated in the updates. As for Modmyi, it comes pre-packaged with jailbroken devices as it is one of the many default repos. Hope this helps!

Hey mate. SBInfograbber is a SpringBoard information allocator which gathers details about the apps on the springboard which are necessary for LockDown Pro to run. You can download it by searching through Cydia. Cheers

Best one to me is bigu.cydiasource.net cause it has an ALL CYDIA SOURCE package that you install and it automatically gives you all these repos and about 35 more awesome sources. Plus it has movie and tv show apps.

Yesterday I installed all the repos, later I deleted the ones that I didn’t see valuable, then I decided to install FoldersinFolders, it installed, during the installation showed some warnings and then I reboot the springboard.Since then, it reboots, goes to the apple logo, then a black screen and then enters into an infinite loop, doing the same over and over again!What can I do?

May I as k which OS version are you using? (like iOS 4, 5, 6). If iOS 6, then probably FoldersinFolders is not officially supported. Which is why the phone is rebooting continuously.To resolve that issue, you will have to switch off your iDevice, then press the Power button along with the Volume Up button, as soon as you see the Apple logo, ,let go off the Power button but still hold on to the Volume Up button. This will take you to the Safe Mode of your iDevice.Get into Cydia, Manage, Packages, FoldersinFolders, Modify, Remove, Confirm!This will uninstall the FoldersinFolders from your iDevice and you can restart your iDevice. You will not be having rebooting issues after this procedure!Check this compatibilty list of applications for iOS 6 and above:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?pli=1&key=0AsxLituOoyr9dGRaMk1YSWxYMk9RWmU3UHBwVWFVYkE&type=view&gid=0&f=true&sortcolid=-1&sortasc=true&rowsperpage=639Hope this helps!

If you keep getting errors while adding sources or downloading apps through Cydia, then try deleting all your sources (including bigboss, modmyi & zodttd). Once done, respring your iDevice and open up Cydia.Next, on the Cydia homepage, click on the “More Package Sources” link. Click on the Big boss repo, the modmyi repo and add them. DO NOT ADD the zodttd repo as this repo keeps giving out errors while adding other new repos or while installing apps (such as http/1.1 errors).After this you can start installing all your other repos and start downloading the apps as well. Hope this helps!

I’m sorry, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. A repository has no ability to cause other repositories to give http errors. A http 1.1 error means that service is unavailable. The reason for that is on the repository’s end of the line, not yours. You have no control over that. All you can do, however is wait. I >STRONGLY< suggest not deleting those core repos as they offer beneficial updates to the system and have utilities that can help you repair your device if you happen to do something silly software-wise.If you’re on Wifi and you’re getting an http error, broken pipe error, or a 501, disconnect from your wifi and attempt to ‘refresh’ cydia under the ‘Changes’ tab in cydia.

They a work fin u guys just shouldnt install cydia or repos if u cant do it proper u only get errors usally if u have dont somthing wrong or u ios is not compatible simple i never get errors unless its a fresh jailbreak with bare people doing it and that over loaded servers

You are getting this error due to the zodttd repo which is added in Cydia. This is a very weird problem.However, If you keep getting errors while adding sources or downloading apps through Cydia, then try deleting all your sources (including bigboss, modmyi & zodttd). Once done, respring your iDevice and open up Cydia.Next, on the Cydia homepage, click on the “More Package Sources” link. Click on the Big boss repo, the modmyi repo and add them. DO NOT ADD the zodttd repo as this repo keeps giving out errors while adding other new repos or while installing apps (such as http/1.1 errors).After this you can start installing all your other repos and start downloading the apps as well.Hope this helps!

Everytime i try to install siriport.ru my iphone 4 gets stuck at the apple sign everytime only when im tryin to install siri but any repos or other sources works fine after i respring, does anyone know the correct one to download i tried the siri original ios6 still didnt work!

I’m trying to get bigify+ and each one I open runs my phone is safe mode.. I’ve been adding new sources trying to find the one that works! I’d like my phone back to how it was before this new jailbreak.. It was perfect now I have to find everything again! Haha help please

thats how these things go, if you didnt want to have issues, you should have waited at least a few weeks for all the cydia packages to be updated for ios 6. so be patient, or downgrade to what you were running before

Trust me I was waiting .. Until the bf got me excited when he told me the jailbreak was finally out.. But Thank you for being oh so kind to respond.. Ha I am just asking cuz I was unsure how it worked but now I’ll solely be patient and ask no further questions;)

Guys some apps like unlickize, unlockfx, shrink, graviboard etc are not working… Iphone4 restarts & goes in safe mode & had to uninstall the package…. Any suggestions are appreciated… Many thanks in advance

dude its ok if u dnt have vshare juz download the apps from google or torrents and then install via i-funbox where u have a option to install the app prior u need to install appsync to it so that it runs smothly….if any problem get back on(adit2351@gmail.com)………..

Unfortunately, the only way that you can unlock your iPhone is through an official carrier unlock. Ultrasn0w and Gevey doesn’t work with the iPhone 5 I think. If you’re in the U.S, it is even illegal to unlock your device without permission from carrier.

The reason cydia is having so many problems right now is because its jailbreak day. the jailbreak for 6.1 came out earlier today. so people are going crazy like the black friday sale. i would prefer to wait a couple days. alot of people are on cydia today

Damn straight! I still have some problems adding sources as of now, so its really best to wait it out for now. From what I heard, Saurik is doing some measures to stabilize Cydia. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

by the way… i jailbroke my 6.0 iphone with evasi0n and has all theese probs…. can some1 tell me why my freinds ipad3 on 5.1 is working fine?!?!? bigboss…sinfuliphone…cydia, ALL updating fine …not 1 of theese probs on a 5.1 jb but endless probs on 6.0……. its clealy a problem with the version of cydia that has been relesed with evasi0n…..CAN SOME1 ELSE PLZ CONFIRM THIS IS NOT JUST ME …….thanks

Is anyone having problems adding more then 10 sources….Once I add the 11th source, I get an error saying something like “Wow, you have added more packages then this APT is capable of holding.”……….Then until I delete one of my sources, no packages show up under ANY source…………..ANY THOUGHTS????

Hello Bill. I had the same problem as you did when I was on 5.1.1. I stopped using Cydia for months. I figured out that you cannot add too many sources because then you will have too many packages. Especially if you have sources with many packages on it. Only add Cydia sources that you know you will use or get rid of the one’s that you won’t use and Cydia should show all of the packages again. It is a strange error.

Every time when I try to add some sources it show me ”Refreshing Data – Unable to read source list.” I click Okay and than it shows me ”Error: Refreshing Data, Malformed line 2 in source list… ” What should I do to make it work?

the best thing to have landed on cydia is a app called “battery doctor pro”Find it in the big boss repo, you will find it in the # section right at the bottom, it will be in the chinese alphabet but when you view it its in english.This is sbsettings and about 10 other apps rolled into 1 infact it makes sbsettings look amature!
